You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Love the first four, shots look like Raw film shots to me, dunno how to explain it, doesn't look over edited but does sort of seem like it has a mild filter. Nice work!

Don't know about you but the real satisfaction comes from putting in the time scouting a location, finding unique compositions, and waiting for the light. My favorite images are the ones I've taken where you can search Google for something similar and find nothing. I might have made a few mistakes the first couple of times but I returned and got it right. Trial and error. Learning. Thinking about what I'm doing. Visualizing the shot I want.
If all I did was copy someone else's photo, turn up at the exact GPS location, dial in the same settings, and slap the same actions on them in post, what exactly have I done that I can take any pride in?

How is that waste of money going to setup and meter strobes? It's not. Chit photographers think they can buy their way to skills. The world doesn't need more center framed garbage.
If someone can't correctly expose and image, they aren't going to be capable of making an interesting composition. The camera is literally the least important piece of photographic equipment. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are. Only people without a clue would fall for that garbage.

Good point. Still, relatively speaking all of us today have it significantly easier than did our film based predecessors. With digital, we can take as many photos as we want to get it right. With film based media, it cost money every time you click the shutter.

That said, the industry can only become as technologically advance as we allow it. Consider our modern life: if we make the databases large enough, will we one day even still need an education?

To be fair, digital cameras have had microprocessors (that do a huge part of the work i.e. exposure, focus, etc.) in them for some time now.

My problem is with the people that funded the project. At least I have the decency to know I suck at photography. The Arsereaming does nothing to get someone to a specific place before the sun comes up. A tent or dropbear repellent would be a better investment to get a quality image. I don't have respect for people that can't even figure out the correct priorities for improvement right. The Arsereaming is going to be another expensive doodad that gets used twice before being sold years down the line.
On the bright side, I'm going to buy a minty fresh D800 or D810 from one of these idiots after the D850 gets released. Gotta love morans that sustain themselves by eating depreciation.

Seems like something GWCs with too much money/not enough skill will be happy to show off at their next photo meet. Any real photographer will already know basic chit like setting a long exposure to capture motion or stopping down to get more DOF. But good for this dude if he's going to make money off it.

How about that Sony A9? Apparently, not only does the battery life suck, but it overheats!

A lot of the mirrorless junkies seem to be in denial when it comes to physics. What they take away from the body they add to the lens so unless you've got a pancake on it there's no advantage. Even worse is the whole system feels unbalanced and lens heavy. Battery life is also garbage.
My D800E is 5 years old and still going strong. Can get all the resolution I need for landscapes shooting panos with a dedicated head so there are no parallax issues. Have zero interest in mirrorless.

Portrait session shot I did of my friend who graduated from the Naval Academy. Took my backdrop outside and used a mix of natural light with strobe.

****ing lol @ arsenal, what a sad little gadget that will only be used by the instagram***gotphotographers of the world
part of the fun (for me) is turning up at X location and having to run through all your test shots, makes the end result so much more satisfying

This isn't a brag post, but I'm about to be rich because I'm the best inventor on the Misc. I just finished my first prototype to solve Sony's overheating problems. It took me less than 10 minutes because of how smart I am. My IQ is about 350. I'm a genius.
I don't think I even need to make any revisions before launching my million dollar Kickstarter. (Sorry if you're feeling inadequate. srs.)
Spoiler!
notsrs, you should feel inadequate

So the 6D II will come with a flippy screen and (apparently) dual SD slots. Who's interested?
For my part I'm going back to Canon tomorrow but with a 50 1.8 and an Elan 7, wanna see what shooting with film is all about.

read about the basics. Join the youtube university with minor in google; and join forums.. Seek harsh critique, not the "OH HOW CREATIVE" BS feedback.
